Book Synopsis
Philosophers who wish to argue for the rationality of belief in God frequently employ a 'god-of-the-gaps' strategy. Drawing on work in the theory of action, this book shows that we can attribute God's agency to an event in nature without eliminating the possibility that it might be explained scientifically.

Trade Review
